                     SOCIAL SECURITY PRIVATIZATION

  (Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, early this year the President said, 
``There's no Social Security trust.'' Lately, some White House 
supporters in this Congress say they want to establish private accounts 
with money from the same trust fund which the President says does not 
exist. That way, when favored Wall Street interests take the money from 
the administration's private accounts and lose it in stock speculation, 
they can turn around and tell the American people, ``Hey, the money was 
never there to begin with.''
  There is a line in the Bible which says, ``That which is crooked 
cannot be made straight.'' Think about that line when you think about 
Social Security privatization.
